C.S. Lewis 29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963
was a prolific Irish writer and scholar best known
for his 'Chronicles of Narnia' fantasy series and
his pro-Christian texts.
Writer and scholar C.S. Lewis taught at Oxford
University and became a renowned Christian apologist
writer, using logic and philosophy to support the
tenets of his faith. He is also known throughout the
world as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia
fantasy series, which have been adapted into various
films for the big and small screens.
Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland, on
November 29, 1898, to Flora August Hamilton Lewis and
Albert J. Lewis. As a toddler, Clive declared that his
name was Jack, which is what he was called by family
and friends. He was close to his older brother Warren
and the two spent much time together as children.
Lewis was enraptured by fantastic animals and tales of
gallantry, and hence the brothers created the imaginary
land of Boxen, complete with an intricate history that
served them for years. Lewis' mother died when he was
10, and he went on to receive his pre-college education
at boarding schools and from a tutor. During WWI, he
served with the British army and was sent home after
being wounded by shrapnel. He then chose to live as a
surrogate son with Janie Moore, the mother of a friend
of Lewis' who was killed in the war.
Lewis graduated from Oxford University with a focus on
literature and classic philosophy, and in 1925 he was
awarded a fellowship teaching position at Magdalen
College, which was part of the university. There, he
also joined the group known as The Inklings, an informal
collective of writers and intellectuals who counted
among their members Lewis' brother Warren and J.R.R. T
olkien. It was through conversations with group members
that Lewis found himself re-embracing Christianity after
having become disillusioned with the faith as a youth.
He would go on to become renowned for his rich apologist
texts, in which he explained his spiritual beliefs via
platforms of logic and philosophy.
He released in 1938 his first sci-fi work, Out of the Silent
Planet, the first of a space trilogy which dealt sub-
textually with concepts of sin and desire. Later, during
WWII, Lewis gave highly popular radio broadcasts on
Christianity which won many converts; his speeches were
collected in the work Mere Christianity.
Lewis was a prolific author of fiction and nonfiction who
wrote the satirical fiction novel The Screwtape Letters
(1942).
Lewis also continued his love affair with classic mythology
and narratives during his later years: His book Till We Have
Faces: A Myth Retold (1956) featured the story of Psyche and
Cupid. He also penned an autobiography, Surprised by Joy: T
he Shape of My Early Life (1955).
